Generally when wearing a scarf in warm weather, you're going to be wearing it as an accessory; but, when you're wearing a scarf in cold weather, sometimes it's as an accessory, and sometimes it's just to help keep you warm.
- Silk Scarf in a Pussycat Bow: If you're more concerned with looking chic and fabulous than staying warm, consider wearing a silk scarf tied in a pussycat bow. Wrap a scarf around your neck with the ends hanging in front of your shoulders. Tie a bow at the same point as the neckline of your blouse. Sandy Dumont, The Image Architect, suggests that women "wear pussycat bows the French way: make sure all four parts of the bow hang at the same length."
- Square silk scarves: If you're attending a special event and want to present the most pulled-together, polished look possible, tie your square, silk scarf the "right" way by following this simple method.
- Start by folding a square scarf diagonally so that it forms a triangle.
- Fold the wide end (the long side of the triangle) over itself repeatedly until a slim band is formed.
- Lay the folded scarf over your neck so that one end is longer than the other.
- Bring the long end over the short end and pull it through the loop.
- Repeat this step.
- Pull taut and wear either at the side or center of the neck.
